We're offering no-cost training and technical assistance to advance the design and construction of your affordable housing projects.

Create affordable, comfortable, and durable housing that will stand the test of time without negatively impacting your project budget. ENERGY STAR, the Department of Energy Zero Energy Ready Homes (ZERH), and passive house ratings and certifications demonstrate a commitment to energy efficient building practices while helping to strengthen local communities.
